MASTER OT J072511.84-881702.0 discovery - PSN in cluster's galaxy

MASTER-SAAO auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic 
Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
  discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 07h 25m 11.84s -88d 17m 02.0s on 
2017-02-22.81740 UT.

The OT unfiltered magnitude is ~19.0m (mlim=20.2).
The OT is seen in 4 image. There is no minor planet at this place.

This PSN is in 12" from bright galaxy (USNO B1 0017-0004125, 
B2=15.9,R2=15.3). There is a cluster of galaxies in this area.

We have reference image on 2015-04-15.98271 UT with  unfiltered m_lim= 
20.6m.

Spectral observations are required.
